Stopping the gears of “edreform”
OK, I’ll believe you, but when I saw the other petitions and the million “members” of Rhee’s Students First I saw RED1 .

Shame on you . Take my number off the students First member list.
Whoa, relax. There’s no connection to students first on this one.
TFA needs to return to its original mission as “teacher” source of last resort. Now they are just idealistic, naive, clueless scabs. There is no teacher shortage anymore, and the TFA jobs could be filled with certified, experienced awesome teachers who are currently laid off. More training, short of certification, will not fix this.
